Coppull's November 2024 crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 residents places it 7.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, marking a relatively safer profile compared to the national picture. The crime profile in the built-up area is dominated by anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 36.2% of all incidents (21 cases), far exceeding the UK average for the category (1.1 per 1,000). This discrepancy may be influenced by local factors such as the area's proximity to community hubs or the density of residential properties, which could amplify noise-related disputes or neighbour conflicts. Violence and sexual offences (17 cases, 29.3% of total) also feature prominently, though they remain 22% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter days, Bonfire Night, and the pre-Christmas shopping rush—likely contributes to fluctuations in anti-social and public order incidents. For instance, the 33.3% increase in criminal damage and arson cases could be linked to the timing of Bonfire Night events, which often coincide with increased alcohol consumption and public gatherings. Meanwhile, the lower-than-average burglary rate (0.2 per 1,000, 35% below UK levels) may reflect the area's compact, well-lit streets or the presence of community policing initiatives that deter opportunistic theft. These patterns suggest a combination of local demographics, environmental factors, and seasonal rhythms, which shape the unique crime profile of Coppull.

November saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour accounting for 36.2% of all incidents, the most common category. This rate (2.5 per 1,000) is 125% above the UK average for the same category, suggesting a localised concentration of such incidents. Meanwhile, violent crimes decreased by 22% compared to the UK average, with 17 cases recorded. The most pronounced month-on-month change was a 100% increase in 'other crime' incidents, rising from 1 to 2 cases. Conversely, burglary and shoplifting both fell by 50%, potentially linked to seasonal factors like reduced foot traffic during Black Friday or heightened security measures. The increase in public order offences (66.7% rise) may reflect the impact of Bonfire Night events, which often coincide with heightened community activity and associated disturbances.

Coppull's crime rate in November 2024 (7.0 per 1,000 residents) represents a 7.4% increase from the previous month's rate of 6.5 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 143 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of crime in a built-up area. This statistic, when scaled to the population of 8,321, underscores that the majority of residents are not directly affected by criminal activity on a monthly basis. The shift from the prior month may be consistent with seasonal factors, such as the transition into darker evenings and the timing of events like Bonfire Night, which could influence patterns of anti-social behaviour and public order offences.
